This article is about planted installations designed to capture surface runoff through an engineered soil with subterranean infrastructure.
For simpler, residential systems, see Rain Gardens.
For linear systems, which convey flow, but are otherwise similar see Bioswales.

Overview[edit]

Bioretention cells are the


Bioretention cells are an ideal technology for:

  • People who want bioretention


The fundamental components of a bioretention cell are:

  • Biomedia - an engineered soil mix
  • Planting -

Additional components may include:

  • Impermeable membrane to prevent infiltration to soils below
